Morning news from newspapers and simulcasts arrives with the gray dawn.
Mapp heard Starling's movement, brought over some muffins, and they watched TV together.
The WFUL TV helicopter got those shots, rare footage, directly overhead.Cable News Network and other networks bought rights from them.
Starling had seen it once.She had to see clearly that it was Einelda who shot first.She looked at Mapp and saw anger in her brown face.
Starling ran off to throw up after watching it.
"It's hard to watch," Starling said back, her feet going limp and her face pale.
Mapp, as usual, talked the matter out. "The question you want to ask is: How did I feel when you killed that black American woman with the baby, huh? Here's my answer: She shot you first, and I want you to live. But , Starling, come to think of it, who came up with this crazy idea? What kind of ass sent you in that goddamn environment to shoot Evelda Drumgo with a gun to solve the drug problem? He How smart are you? I want you to think about whether you'll stop being used by them in the future." Mapp poured some tea and paused. "Do you want me to stay with you? I can ask for a day off."
"Thanks, no need. Just call me."
The National Tattler, which benefited greatly from the tabloid boom of the 1990s, has an issue that is unusual even by its own standards.Someone threw a copy into their house after dawn, and Starling followed the sound to check and found it.She had been waiting for the most embarrassing thing, and now it came.
"Angel of Death: Clarice Starling, the FBI's Killing Machine," screamed the Tattler's 72-pound gothic headline.The first edition featured three photos: Starling in overalls, firing a .45; a brain-cracked Evelda Drumgo sitting on the street, leaning over the baby, head on one side On one side, a statue of the Madonna; then Starling, a naked brown baby on a white chopping board, surrounded by knives, fish guts, and turtle heads.
The caption under the picture reads: "FBI agent Clarice Starling, the killer of the serial killer Jaime Gumm, had at least 5 more marks engraved on her gun. Drug arrest failed, death Including a woman with a baby and two police officers."
Coverage features Yvulda and Dijon Drumgo's drug careers; the presence of the Crip Gang on the bullet-riddled streets of Washington, D.C.; the service of dead police officer John Brigham and his A brief description of the award received.
The paper devoted an entire side column to Starling, and above it was a vivid photograph of Starling in a restaurant, wearing a plunging dress with a vivid face.
The Tattler had bought her phone number from one of Starling's informants, and the calls kept coming, so Starling had to take the receiver off the hook.She can only use her mobile phone to talk to the bureau.
Starling's ears didn't hurt very much, and her swollen face didn't hurt too much without the bandages, at least not throbbing.Two Tylenol did the trick.She didn't need the Pecocel prescribed by her doctor.She leaned against the headboard in a daze, the Washington Post slid across the sheets and spread out on the floor.There were traces of gunpowder on her hands and dried tears on her cheeks.
